Key Grammar Structures

  • que lo que prometiste se te olvidó

    ➔ Subjunctive mood in 'se te olvidó', expressing obligation or forgetfulness.

    ➔ 'Que' introduces a subordinate clause. The phrase 'se te olvidó' uses the past tense of the reflexive verb 'olvidar' with indirect object pronouns, showing that something was forgotten.

  • Dile al que te pregunte que no te quise

    ➔ Imperative form 'Dile' (tell) plus indirect object 'al que te pregunte', demonstrating command + indirect speech.

    ➔ 'Dile' is the imperative form of 'decir' (to tell), used to give commands. The phrase 'al que te pregunte' is a subordinate clause introduced by 'que', meaning 'the one who asks you'.

  • Cúbrete tú la espalda con mi dolor

    ➔ Imperative form 'Cúbrete' (cover yourself) with reflexive pronoun and prepositional phrase.

    ➔ 'Cúbrete' combines the imperative form of 'cubrirse' (to cover oneself) with the reflexive pronoun 'te'. The phrase 'con mi dolor' uses 'con' (with) to indicate the instrument or reason for covering.

  • En vez de infierno encuentres gloria

    ➔ Subjunctive mood 'encuentres' after 'en vez de' (instead of) expressing a wish or hypothetical scenario.

    ➔ 'En vez de' is a fixed phrase meaning 'instead of.' 'Encuentres' in subjunctive mood indicates a wish or unreal scenario, often used after expressions of possibility or desire.

  • Y una nube de tu memoria me borre a mí

    ➔ Subjunctive 'borre' after 'que' indicating a wish or hope.

    ➔ 'Que' introduces a subjunctive clause. 'Borre' is the present subjunctive form of 'borrar' (to erase), used here to express a wish that her memory be erased.
